I should add, also keep in mind the E89 M1 will be a very short run. The F2x 1 series should arrive in 2013 or so, and thus the first generation M1 might not have a lot of momentum. With the second generation product, however, this should change.

Agreed. I believe the M3 will continue to carry the flag in ALMS and other endurance racing. However, I can see the M1 taking over in the major touring car series that BMW currently competes.
